Fugue State

This Peanut Portfolio Book includes one signed and numbered original photograph and one signed and numbered hardcover book, 40 pages, 18 color plates.

Aline Smithson's award-winning portraiture has been shown in numerous exhibitions and publications internationally and is held in many public and private collections. Smithson has also exhibited her portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in London and was commissioned to create a series of portraits for the Smithsonian Art and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Fugue State asks us to think about the permanence of photographs.  Both digital and analog images can be destroyed by time, and here, Smithson hastens the process herself.  When has destruction been so beautiful?
